Walk 4 Peace

Angelic Castro was shot to death
standing by a South Sixth Avenue pay
phone in August, 1996.
She was in the wrong place at the
wrong time, her father, Carlos, said.
"It was a big impact on us," he said.
The 21-year-old left behind a 6-year-old
daughter, Samantha, who with her
family marched up that same street Dec.
5 in the Tucson-area's second annual
Walk 4 Peace.
About 200 people walked from
Southgate Shopping Center up Sixth
Avenue to East 22nd Street and Santa
Cruz Catholic Church. They marched to
call attention to what organizers and
particpants said is a rising tide of vio-lence.
"Nowadays, theses kids, they're unbe-lievable,
it should't be that way," said
Carlos, 47.
This was the Castro family's second
walk and Carlos said it gives him peace of
mind.
It's a way for us to feel close to
Angelic, Carlos said.
In 1996, three Carondolet nurses who
provide health services to the Santa Cruz
parish, realized that violence was the
largest health concern in their commu-nity.
"We see the violence," said Isela Luna,
one of the parish's nurses.

Initially, no second walk was planned,
but there was continued interest, so
another one was organized.
Organizers chose South Sixth on a
Friday night because of its less-than-peaceful
reputation, Luna said.

teenager was killed at the Southgate
Shopping Center parking lot, in what
police said was a gang-related shooting.
